We show that if $X$ is an arc-like continuum, then for every point $x \in X$ there is a plane embedding of $X$ in which $x$ is an accessible point. This answers a question posed by Nadler in 1972, which has become known as the Nadler-Quinn…

We study the problem of Nadler and Quinn from 1972, which asks whether, given an arc-like continuum $X$ and a point $x \in X$, there exists an embedding of $X$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$ for which $x$ is an accessible point. We develop the notion of…

We consider the problem of finding embeddings of arc-like continua in the plane for which each point in a given subset is accessible. We establish that, under certain conditions on an inverse system of arcs, there exists a plane embedding…

We show that if $X$ is an arc-like continuum, then any continuum which is the union of $X$ and a ray $R$ such that $X \cap R = \emptyset$ and $\overline{R} \setminus R \subseteq X$ can be embedded in the plane $\mathbb{R}^2$. Further, we…

We show that if $f\colon I\to I$ is piecewise monotone, post-critically finite, and locally eventually onto, then for every point $x\in X=\underleftarrow{\lim}(I,f)$ there exists a planar embedding of $X$ such that $x$ is accessible. In…

We prove that for a chainable continuum $X$ and every non-zigzag $x\in X$ there exists a planar embedding $\phi:X\to \phi(X)\subset\mathbb R^2$ such that $\phi(x)$ is accessible, partially answering the question of Nadler and Quinn from…

For point $x$ in the inverse limit space $X$ with a single unimodal bonding map we construct, with the use of symbolic dynamics, a planar embedding such that $x$ is accessible. It follows that there are uncountably many non-equivalent…

For a topologically complete space $X$ and a family of closed covers $\mathcal A$ of $X$ satisfying a "local refinement condition" and a "completeness condition," we give a construction of an inverse system $\mathbf{ N}_{\mathcal A}$ of…

We associate with any simplicial complex $\K$ and any integer $m$ a system of linear equations and inequalities. If $\K$ has a simplicial embedding in $\R^m$ then the system has an integer solution. This result extends the work of I. Novik…

In extension theory, in particular in dimension theory, it is frequently useful to represent a given compact metrizable space X as the limit of an inverse sequence of compact polyhedra. We are going to show that, for the purposes of…

Let $X$ be a smooth dendroid in the plane $\mathbb R^2$. We show that each endpoint of $X$ is arcwise accessible from $\mathbb R^2\setminus X$, and that the space of endpoints $E(X)$ has the property of a circle. In the event that $E(X)$ is…

We show that a plane continuum X is indecomposable iff X has a sequence (U_n) of not necessarily distinct complementary domains satisfying what we call the double-pass condition: If one draws an open arc A_n in each U_n whose ends limit…

Using linear algebraic methods we show that every (possibly infinite-dimensional) representation of a quiver with underlying graph $A_{\infty, \infty}$ is Krull-Schmidt, as long as the arrows in the quiver eventually point outward.

When the plane is pie-sliced in $n\leq 4$ parts (with nonempty interior and common vertex at the origin) our main result provides a sufficient condition for any map $L$, that is continuous and piecewise linear relatively to this slicing, to…

We prove that for every planar differential system with a period annulus there exists an involution $\sigma$ such that the system is $\sigma$-symmetric. We also prove that for for every planar differential system with a period annulus there…

This dissertation investigates the relative complexity between a continuum and its proper subcontinua, in particular, providing examples of atriodic n-od-like continua. Let X be a continuum and n be an integer greater than or equal to…

An inverse problem for a nonlinear biharmonic operator is under consideration in the spirit of Isakov (1993) and Johansson-Nurminen-Salo (2023). We prove that a general nonlinear term of the $Q= Q(x,u, \nabla u, \Delta u)$ associated to a…

Traditional spatial queries return, for a given query object $q$, all database objects that satisfy a given predicate, such as epsilon range and $k$-nearest neighbors. This paper defines and studies {\em inverse} spatial queries, which,…

A partial affine plane of order $n$ is a point-line incidence structure with $n^2$ points and $n$ points on each line, such that every two lines meet in at most one point. In this paper, we show that a partial affine plane of order $n$, $n$…

We define the compact universal cover of a compact, metrizable connected space (i.e. a continuum) X to be the inverse limit of all continua that regularly cover X. We show that such covers do indeed form an inverse system with bonding maps…
